Abstract:
A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit is disclosed. The VCO circuit comprises a VCO tuning circuit comprising a primary inductive coil. In some embodiments, the VCO tuning circuit is configured to generate a VCO output signal at a first resonance frequency. The VCO circuit further comprises a filter circuit comprising a secondary inductive coil. In some embodiments, the filter circuit is configured to resonate at a second, different, resonance frequency, in order to filter a noise associated with the VCO tuning circuit. In some embodiments, the primary inductive coil associated with the VCO tuning circuit and the secondary inductive coil associated with the filter circuit are concentrically arranged with respect to one another. Further, in some embodiments, the primary inductive coil associated with the VCO tuning circuit and the secondary inductive coil associated with the filter circuit are magnetically decoupled with respect to one another.
